It has been announced today that Disney Studios will be releasing a live-action remake of its popular 1997 animated movie, Hercules. in the original (and rather witty) fantasy film, we follow the adventures of Hercules, the son of legendary Greek god, Zeus, along with many other extraordinary characters from Greek mythology. When Hercules is snatched as a baby by Hades, he is forced to live among mortals as half-man, half-god – but upon becoming a teenager, he must prove himself worthy on Earth before he is able to live with the gods again on Mount Olympus. And thanks to Academy Award-winning composer, Alan Menken, and American musical theatre lyricist, David Zippel, his escapades are all set to one of the catchiest film soundtracks ever written. From gospel classic, ‘Zero to Hero’, and ultimate Disney power ballad, ‘Go the Distance’, to Megara’s dramatic solo for ‘I Won’t Say (I’m in Love)’, it’s fair to say that our childhoods wouldn’t have been the same without the film’s epic music. Now, the hilarious tale returns and is expected to feature musical favourites from the original movie as well as new songs being added.
